I read this book, "APOLLO 13". This story is also an American film in 1995 which is based on a true story.

Jim Lovell who is an experienced astronaut will board APOLLO 14 but the project changes, so he boards APOLLO 13 on very short notice. He chooses his team member but he is informed that one of them, Ken, may be at risk for German measles. Jim makes the decission to bamp Ken off the flight and replace him with Jack.
On 14th April, APOLLO 13 takes off. Immidiately after the launch, an explosion occurs. As the result, oxygen leak from the oxygen tank and developed power of fuel buttery get dropping. Experts predict that it is hopless situation but Gene who is the flight directer tries to return the crews. On the Earth, Ken simulates how to return to Earth. In the APOLLO 13 they sustain hope that they return to Earth. Then, they decide to penetrate the atmosphere. After the atmosphere entry, they can not communicate for about 3 minutes. However, it already takes 3 minutes after the atmosphere entry. Then, they can communicate. They return to Earth safely.
